In my book The Sky is the Limit: Children’s Stories on Exploring the Power of Self, we journey alongside Waldo, a gentle and loving dog who teaches us that trust is one of life’s most precious gifts.
What does Waldo want us to remember?
Being joyful, friendly, and open-hearted is a beautiful way to live—but it’s equally important to choose wisely where we place our trust. Before trusting someone new, pause… listen to your heart, feel what your intuition is telling you, and make sure you’re not alone when approaching unfamiliar groups or situations.
Shine your light boldly—just be thoughtful about whom you share it with.
Love, kindness, and gratitude are gifts the universe freely plants within us. Treasure them. Nurture them. But remember: not everyone sees the world through the same lens. That’s why discernment matters.
Observe the world around you, trust your inner voice, and let it guide you—because it will always lead you toward safety, clarity, and truth.
